About this book

When eleven-year-old Nelson's older sister disappears, he is left devastated—she is his only friend. His parents join the search, leaving him in the care of his uncle Pogo, a plumber working at St. Paul's Cathedral in London. In a dusty crypt there, Nelson discovers an ancient machine that accidentally extracts the seven deadly sins from his soul, transforming them into ugly, cantankerous creatures that follow him everywhere. These monsters prove to be more than they initially appear. In this debut novel, Nelson discovers that these strange companions are exactly what he needs as he embarks on a global quest to rescue his sister.
